Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

No surprise that someone who signed up for Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team doesn't know the occupation is illegal.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Andrew Cuomo acts tough on TV. But when Donald Trump came after our Attorney General, Cuomo couldn't even name him. That's cowardice.

It’s debate time. Let’s go.

Over Andrew Cuomo's more than decade in power, homelessness rose, inequality widened, public services were starved of funding, working people were priced out of this city and he resigned in disgrace.

That's the experience he won't account for tonight.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.

California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.

Abbe Lowell statement says facts of Bolton case "were investigated and resolved years ago.” Bolton, like many public officials, “kept diaries — that is not a crime.” They were "unclassified records that were shared only with his immediate family, and known to the F.B.I. as far back as 2021.”
